DCN tuition rate is up...

Cheri,

I saw that in the mail a few days ago, but to be fair at least two of the local (St. Louis) nursing programs are charging over $510 a credit hour so the DCN rate is still in line. As far as I can tell only the community colleges are lower than DCN and the waiting list is forever. Also, did you get the PM that I sent last week?

Just thought I would let you know, I received a letter in the mail yesterday stating that DCN's tuition will be going up to $465 a credit starting August 2005.
Not looking for snide remarks from DCN haters...but just giving DCN hopefuls and current students a heads up.
Note to Nursing Educator Majors:
There is money to be made in opening an online ASN program.

:yeahthat: I have a feeling that it won't be much longer before there are many online programs modeled after DCN, especially since they are now owned by Devry.

BTW, I try not to look at the tuition notices as they come in the mail. :rolleyes:

Kelly,

Thanks for the perspective there...I had no idea what the current nursing school situation is in St Louis. I try not to think about the cost of tuition too much, I just keep reminding myself that DCN has offered me an opportunity that no one else could.

BTW: perhaps I have "misplaced" your IM , please resend...
